Launcher takes over a minute to start

So I updated the game yesterday to Odyssey 1.1, and from that moment on, the launcher would take in excess of over a minute to come up, compared to a matter of seconds beforehand. I tried to use the repair tool, and it found several corrupted files, but it failed to fix them twice. I resorted to a complete uninstall, being sure appropriate folders were deleted, including settings.

I completely reinstalled the game last night using the client downloader available from the website, and once it finished installing and I told it to launch the game after closing the install window, voila! It came up in about 6 seconds or so. It checked file integrity, may have installed additional files (I didn't see that part), and then I was able to launch and play a fair bit last night.

This morning I fired up the launcher and yet again it is taking well over 60 seconds to come up. It's not a game breaker, but it's inconvenient to wait so long for just the launcher to come up. The game itself launches just fine and fast after you hit "Play".

My computer specs:
OS - Windows 7 64 bit
Mainboard - ASUS Sabretooth Z77
Processor - Intel Core i7-3930K
Memory - 32GB DDR3
Graphics - GeForce GTX 690 4GB

I don't think it's a problem with my hardware. Please let me know if this is normal behavior (for everyone) now, or if there's something I need to do to fix it. Thank you.

Hi, I have also had the problem Thellorms Nor'Fein mentions. Curiously, I also have the same PC specs - apart from the motherboard. My launcher loads in about 12 seconds, which is long enough to be mildly irritating, and certainly longer than pre-Odyssey.

What happens in my experience is that the top (black) border appears first, then, line by line, the body of the launcher. Last of all is the login space, which starts off pure white, then fills in - slowly, line by line.

I first noticed the problem just after the initial launch of Odyssey.

Still having this problem. Not sure what to do about it. If your out there having the same issue, speak up so I know it's not just me. Or if you have ideas on what might be causing it on my end and how I can fix it, please let me know!
